Text 154.Pacifying Jiangnan (7)

Zhang Tianyu pretended to look at Xu Zhongmou deeply, but where did he listen to Xu Zhongmou's words in his heart, thinking that it was already merciful for his subordinates to keep you alive, if it weren't for the fear of chaos, he would have solved you a long time ago, and you still dare to teach Lao Tzu here, but Zhang Tianyu still has to get by on the surface, and when Xu Zhongmou finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Lao Xu, your heartfelt words, Lao Zhang, I am really moved when I hear it, rest assured, after the new sect master ascends the throne, I will definitely not exclude those who disagree, besides, they are all brothers in the sect, what is not different, I still have to unite all my brothers to deal with Zhang Dingbian, that bastard is too arrogant for a while, if I hadn't planned the new sect master wholeheartedly, I would have fought to the end with him a long time ago. Lao Xu, I still say the same thing, if you want to go out and set up your own sect, I won't stop you, if you feel that the outside is not going well, no matter when you come back, the position of the deputy sect master will always be reserved for you. ”

Xu Zhongmou was a little moved by what Zhang Tianyu said, stood up, and said generously: "Lao Zhang, you are the talker, I, Lao Xu, am also a trustworthy person, the new sect master is on the throne, I fully support it, my people will never have problems on the spot, if someone makes trouble on the scene, my Lao Xu will never allow him." ”

Zhang Tianyu stood up with satisfaction: "Okay!" ”

On the night of the first day of February, the Yuanzhao Temple was brightly lit, the monks of the temple did not rest as usual, and in addition to the monks in the temple, there were more than 1,000 people gathered inside and outside the temple, but these people did not make noise, and did not burn incense to worship the Buddha, but entered the main hall and each side hall in an organized and orderly manner, and some people were also distributed outside the temple, everything seemed to be in order. Zhang Tianyu saw the process and orderliness of this night, and he was very satisfied, especially when he saw Zhang Fu on the side, Zhang Tianyu was even more proud.

This Zhang Fu is seventeen years old, formerly known as Zhang Da Niu, is Zhang Tianyu's fellow villager, before he was an inconspicuous man under a salt merchant, once Zhang Tianyu accidentally learned that Zhang Da Niu's mother Yao died very early, no one knows who his father is, because Zhang Da Niu's mother's maiden surname Yao is well known to everyone in the township, Zhang Tianyu made a big fuss with the help of this, and instructed several subordinates to continue to spread the remarks that Zhang Da Niu is Zhang Wang's orphan in the sect, and then Zhang Tianyu naturally took Zhang Da Niu to his side and changed his name to Zhang Fu. Fu means to restore the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhang Tianyu has been creating public opinion in the sect, Tiancheng Sect should return the things to the original owner, and return the position of suzerain to Zhang Fu. As long as Zhang Fu is the sect master, Zhang Tianyu, the deputy sect master, can lead the sect master to order everyone, and he will block the mouths of Zhang Shili and Xu Zhongmou's subordinates, and those who are not convinced by themselves will have nothing to say, and they can truly control the Tiancheng Sect.

Zhang Tianyu was very excited tonight, he even remembered Si Xiaobo, that woman's small mouth and that pestering kung fu were really ecstatic, and people couldn't stop, but it was a pity that in order to pull Xu Zhongmou into the water, Zhang Tianyu pushed Si Xiaobo onto Xu Zhongmou's bed, on this happy night, if you can have a hearty time with Si Xiaobo, what a pleasant thing. Thinking about it, Zhang Tianyu remembered the scene when he went to the capital the year before last, the tall city walls, spacious streets and prosperous wealth, as well as the palace walls that he could only look at from afar, made Zhang Tianyu yearn for it. As long as he controls Tianchengzong and has a stable foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not impossible to enter the capital and ascend the dragon throne in the future.

Zhang Tianyu was immersed in the beautiful dream of the future, suddenly the sound of bells and drums was loud, and the sound pulled him back to reality, at this moment midnight has passed, Zhang Tianyu happily glanced at Zhang Daniu beside him, no, it was Zhang Fu, and looked at Xu Zhongmou who started with him, it happened that Xu Zhongmou also looked at himself, Zhang Tianyu nodded reservedly, Xu Zhongmou understood, took two steps forward, came to the middle of the hall, and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, pay homage to King Zhang!" ”

All of a sudden, the people inside and outside the hall all bow down to the Buddha statue in the middle, the hall at this time has been rearranged, the main hall is at the foot of the Buddha statue of the Chinese Medicine Buddha, put a shrine of Zhang Shicheng, everyone salutes, bow down to the Buddha statue, that is, bow down to King Zhang.

After the worship ceremony, everyone got up, and Xu Zhongmou said loudly: "Today, there is Zhang Fu, the son of King Zhang, who is seventeen years old, a young man who is heroic and martial, smart and practiced, inherits the ambition of King Zhang, thinks of the common people, leads my generation into the right path, and returns the people to well-being, and takes the position of the sect master, and all the disciples visit the shrine." Xu Zhongmou has been reciting this paragraph for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with reciting it out loud today, Xu Zhongmou also felt very relieved, at this moment he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Tianyu, Zhang Tianyu was also looking at Xu Zhongmou, the two looked at each other, Zhang Tianyu smiled, and signaled to continue.

According to the previous setting, the next step is to sit in the middle of Zhang Fuzheng, and then all the disciples to pay homage to the new sect master, Xu Zhongmou was just about to open his mouth, when he saw a little monk running in in a panic outside the main hall, the little monk was too flustered, and he tripped on the tall threshold of the main hall, but the little monk was agile, got up and ran to Zhang Tianyu again, and muttered a few words in Zhang Tianyu's ear, only to see Zhang Tianyu's face change greatly, "Fart, didn't you send someone to check before?" How could it have come all of a sudden? ”

Xu Zhongmou knew that something must have changed, so he hurriedly came to Zhang Tianyu and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tianyu glanced around and said in a low voice: "There is a fight outside, fuck Zhang Dingbian They are doing it at this time, there are quite a few of them, and they have surrounded us." There are a few places where the brothers are almost overwhelmed. ”

Xu Zhongmou was stunned when he heard it, he was actually surrounded, you know, Zhang Tianyu and himself also took precautions, Zhang Tianyu arranged a total of more than 500 people on the periphery, and more than 200 of his own subordinates, just afraid that Lei Xianzong would come to make trouble, but how did he think that the other party could actually surround himself, and he couldn't carry so many people, the other party was obviously planning to dispatch a large team, if so, I am afraid that tonight will be more auspicious.

Everyone below was whispering, and the little monk who suddenly ran in was so frightened, and the two deputy sect masters were also very abnormal, all of which made the people below feel abnormal, and some even guessed the clue, and kept looking outside. At this time, there were already sporadic sounds of killing outside the temple, and everyone understood at once, and the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Zhang Tianyu pleaded with Xu Zhongmou with a bitter face: "Old Xu, most of the disciples who participated in the inauguration ceremony inside and outside the hall are weavers, farmers, and merchants from all over the world. Lao Xu, good brother, now I have to work hard for you, I still have three or four hundred good hands in the temple, please you must fight a bloody way, keep the sect master, keep the brothers, as long as we go out, go back and settle accounts with them. ”

Xu Zhongmou looked at Zhang Tianyu's frustrated appearance, and suddenly looked down on this person in his heart, and secretly scolded in his heart how such a cowardly person could actually be on an equal footing with him, and he actually wanted to control Tianchengzong, but he wanted to think about it, and his life was at stake at the moment, so he came to the door and shouted, "Brothers, copy the guy, fight with his mother." ”

At this time, on the periphery of Yuanzhao Temple, Zhang Dingbian and Han Shide finally met, and both of them retreated left and right, standing face to face about three steps apart.

Both of them were wary of each other in their hearts, and they looked down on each other even more, but now for the sake of a common enemy, not only did the two get together, but their brothers had to fight side by side.

After looking at each other for a long time, Han Shi finally spoke first: "Congratulations to Sect Master Zhang, by tomorrow night, the overlord of the Jiangnan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang regions will be you Lei Xianzong, and he Tianchengzong will no longer be your opponent." ”

Zhang Dingbian actually had a plan in his heart, as long as he could successfully kill Tianchengzong tonight, he would turn his face against the World Alliance on the spot and relieve himself of the troubles in the future in one fell swoop, so that Lei Xianzong could truly dominate Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But at present, Tianchengzong is still struggling to resist, and he will continue to use the masters of the Tianxia Alliance to work for himself. Therefore, Zhang Dingbian still has to get by on the face, and said with a smile: "After tonight, the lord of the Han League can also share half of the Tianchengzong business, and in the future, the world alliance will be rich, and it will be the second place in this Jiangnan, and he will be completely angry." ”

Han Shide laughed: "Thanks to General Zhang's care, give me half of it, and we will join forces in the future, and this Jiangnan will be our world." ”

Zhang Dingbian was disdainful in his heart, so he stopped talking and turned his head to look in the direction of Yuanzhao Temple.

At this time, Li Chengliu came to the two of them with a knife: "Sect Master, there are really a lot of people around them, we wasted a lot of effort to beat them back, and now their remnants of the army will retreat to the temple." Then he turned his head to Han Shide and said: "Han Alliance Leader, a few of your subordinates are really extraordinary, I didn't expect you to secretly collect a lot of masters." ”

Zhang Dingbian was secretly shocked in his heart, this Han is a lifeless collector, and he will have salt profits in the future, wouldn't it be even more like a tiger? In his heart, he was even more determined to do the world alliance. Zhang Dingbian looked at Yuanzhao Temple and ordered Li Chengliu: "Now that the perimeter has been cleaned up, tell the Shenhuo team that they can act, but you still have to blempty on the periphery to cover the actions of the Shenhuo team." ”

The two hundred people of the Shenhuo team mentioned in Zhang Dingbian's mouth have been assembled, and each of these people carries a large bamboo tube, which is filled with gunpowder and sulfur, as long as an order is given, these people will throw these large barrels into the temple, and then only need a little spark, and the Yuanzhao Temple will become a sea of fire.

Li Chengliu stood outside the gate, called six of his loud subordinates, and asked these six subordinates to shout loudly in front of the temple: "Brothers of Tiancheng Sect, you are all deceived, we will only find your sect master and deputy sect master to settle accounts today, and the other brothers, as long as you come out and put down your weapons, we will let you go." ”

The six in front shouted, and Li Chengliu stood in the back and raised his hand at the Shenhuo team: "Up." ”

The Shenhuo team got the order, quickly came to the temple wall, took off the big wooden barrel from their backs, used the rope to make two laps, and threw it into the courtyard, Li Chengliu saw that everything was going well, and shouted to the people behind him: "Release the rocket." ”
